Emails, Deadlines, and Grades--Oh My! What LMS Tools are Most Important?
The following tools are readily available through Canvas, which was the LMS I most fully explored during this quest.
Canvas Tools:
Announcements, assignments, discussions, grades, people, pages, files, syllabus, outcomes, social profiles, storage, quizzes, modules, conferences, collaborations
It is very difficult for me to pinpoint which tools rank higher or lower than others: all of them are important to the field of online learning. At this stage of my online learning experience, I think the social profiles would be the least important since most students are already active within another more commonly utilized social network. I really appreciate the fact that a plethora of existing platforms like Google, Facebook, and Twitter can connect into Canvas. This alone is a very helpful tool that helps to make this learning system even more user friendly.
